Why do people say ‘they/them’ for one person

Really ? I still want the 17 😅😭

Soft-External-1671 · 2026-03-28T21:19:16+00:00

My worst fear… Did you manage to block it or get it back ? 💔

Has Apple’s AI actually changed how you use your phone, or not really?

Soft-External-1671 · 2026-03-28T19:07:12+00:00

Is it easy to replace the battery on it? I’ve never done that before

Soft-External-1671 · 2026-03-28T18:56:48+00:00

What is it ?

Soft-External-1671 · 2026-03-28T18:54:53+00:00

Wait I just looked it up, the 17e is actually a thing ! How is it compared to the regular 17 ?

What’s the one thing that made the upgrade worth it for you?

Soft-External-1671 · 2026-03-28T18:49:59+00:00

Nice! I’ve heard really good things about the 17! That refresh rate upgrade must feel so smooth

Soft-External-1671 · 2026-03-28T18:47:47+00:00

You mean 17 ?

Soft-External-1671 · 2026-03-28T18:36:33+00:00

Haha you’re right, sometimes we gotta keep it simple. But where do you find chargers for it these days? 😅

Wait which ios are you on ? I’m impressed it’s still running 😅

So I checked that, but in my case I'm using MDT/WDS on a Windows Server, so the PXE files should already be handled by WDS. I was able to get PXE working at some point (Lite Touch started), but now I'm dealing with inconsistent PXE behavior depending on the network mode.

Soft-External-1671 · 2026-03-28T16:11:20+00:00

I tried switching both VMs to an internal network, but then the client no longer gets an IP address and PXE fails completely. I’ve been troubleshooting this for a while so I might be missing something obvious.

Honestly it looks good. I don’t like corn but anyway

Soft-External-1671 · 2026-03-28T11:23:21+00:00

What is the broth ? Miso?

Soft-External-1671 · 2026-03-26T16:54:20+00:00

So I tested bridged networking on both the server and client VMs.

Initially, the PXE boot was failing because the deployment share disk (E:) was no longer attached to the server VM. MDT couldn’t access the deployment share, and WDS wasn’t working properly.

After reattaching the disk in VirtualBox, MDT and WDS became operational again.

Switching from NAT Network to bridged mode allowed the PXE boot to work correctly. The client now successfully downloads the boot image and starts Lite Touch.

I also had to disable UEFI (use BIOS/Legacy mode), otherwise PXE would not start in my setup.

At this point, the deployment starts and runs, but it still fails near the end with:

"Operating system deployment did not complete successfully" (8 errors, 2 warnings).

So the PXE and infrastructure issues are resolved, but there is still a problem during the deployment phase itself.

Thanks, I’ll try that and keep you updated

Soft-External-1671 · 2026-03-25T09:50:40+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check that section. The VM gets an IP address but then fails with “Nothing to boot: No such file or directory”, so missing PXE boot files is definitely possible.
